-LRB- CNN -RRB- -- I love you Rihanna .

You succinctly gave voice to the anger that 's been building ever since Washington Post columnist George Will wrote skeptically about young women caught up in a `` supposed campus epidemic of rape , a.k.a. ` sexual assault . ' ''

You remember that ? Will said , in his special Will way , that when colleges and universities `` make victimhood a coveted status that confers privileges , victims proliferate . ''

You , Rihanna , gave voice to the anger that 's been simmering since Rush Limbaugh said , `` no means yes if you know how to spot it , '' and Fox & Friends joked about `` taking the stairs '' 'cause there are cameras in the elevator to record you punching your lady .

You , Rihanna , succinctly said , in two words , how many women feel for getting blamed for everything from raising `` problem children '' to `` feminizing '' men .

F *** you !

Rihanna slams CBS for pulling song

Mr. Goodell , if you 're wondering why you 're getting so much grief for that that two-game suspension you handed to Ray Rice for decking his fiancÃ © e , I 'll spell it out . You provided the tipping point for the anger women feel for getting blamed for just about everything bad that happens to them .

Voices of domestic violence

It 's why Rihanna is so upset that CBS pulled her song `` Run This Town '' from Thursday Night Football because , well , in Rihanna 's words : `` Y' all are sad for penalizing me for this ... CBS you pulled my song last week , now you wan na slide it back in this Thursday ? NO , F *** you ! Y' all are sad for penalizing me for this . ''

Oh , and do n't say you did n't penalize Rihanna for what Ray Rice did to Janay Palmer .

CBS Sports Chairman Sean McManus told the Associated Press that Rihanna 's history of domestic abuse at the hands of Chris Brown was `` among several factors considered -LRB- for pulling her song -RRB- but was not the overriding one . '' To make matters worse , it was n't even Rihanna 's song ! It was Jay Z 's song . Rihanna was merely performing alongside the man who discovered her .

As Rihanna tweeted , `` The audacity ... '' and forbade CBS to use any of her songs in its Thursday Night Football lineup ever again . CBS promptly announced : `` Beginning this Thursday , we will be moving in a different direction with some elements of our Thursday Night Football open . We will be using our newly created Thursday Night Football theme music to open our game broadcast . ''

Wise move CBS . It would have been a colossal mistake to bully Rihanna into singing for the NFL .

There have been so many strong , female voices speaking out about crimes against their sisters , and you know what ? People are listening .

Universities -LRB- Princeton most recently -RRB- are more aggressively tackling sexual assaults on campus , there are now consequences -- at least for some -- for spouting irresponsible garbage about female victims . And the NFL ? It has now hired female advisers to shape its domestic violence policy .

Dare I say again , I love you Rihanna .
